Episode notes
Centralize Reflections In One Document
- Create a single shared document that lists major assessments and spaces for process and feedback reflections.
- Use it as a central hub so students hyperlink work and return to one place throughout the year.
Reflections Act As Course 'Glue'
- A single ongoing document reduces fragmentation and provides 'glue' across diverse assignments.
- It helps both students and teachers see patterns across the year rather than isolated tasks.
Set Up Documents Early With Teacher Access
- Set up the documents and share them at the start of the year to keep control and allow evolution.
- Teacher editing access helps you add class activities and refine the template as the year progresses.
